I finally got my camera back, so here are some pics of the kiddos. We have three lovely princesses living with us. Aren't they sweet???



Madi is the one in front of the fireplace and Megan is posing in front of the fish tank.





Here's Miss Mia. She loves those butterfly wings. She would wear them everyday all day if they weren't so heavy for her.
Adam was in Vegas in February, so my mother-in-law and mom came to help out with the kids since I was still on restrictions from having Eli. Here is my mom with the girls, playing Webkinz on the computer.


Mia loves reading to her baby brother. Usually ever page just says 'Once upon a time', then she turns the page and says it all over again. It is soooo cute.


Here is Megan adoring her little brother. She loves to hold him until he gets upset.


Madi is just chillin' on the couch with Eli. I think they look so much alike.









Above is Madi talking to her brother as he is laying on the floor.
Mia loves to be anywhere near her brother. He smiles at her almost everytime she talks to him. It is sooo sweet to see.


And here he is with Dad. They too look a lot alike which would make sense since Madi is taking after her father in looks and lots of other things.

It has been a rough few days for us. As I update this, Adam is at the hospital with Mia. She has been feeling ill since Wednesday and we are worried about dehydration and a possible UTI. So, they are going to pump her full of liquids and test her for a UTI. Any extra prayers would be greatly appreciated. I am sure she will be fine, but 5 days is a long time to be sick:(
Until next time, hope the weather warms by then and we can get out so the kids can splash in the mud. Need to get two more pairs of rain boots before then.

Quick Update

Just a quick update. Everybody here is doing well.

Megan is really starting to read well. She is enjoying school and is learning lots. She has started bringing home more non-fiction books from the library. Apparently she wants to learn something from the books she checks out.

Madi is still enjoying preschool. She has come so far this year and I am glad we decided to repeat preschool another year before sending her to school readiness. Her best friend this year is Elizabeth. They play so well together. I couldn't get in to volunteer this time around because of the baby, but see her teachers enough to know she is doing well.

Mia is enjoying her one day of school. Her participation has gotten much better. She is saying her ABC's and singing lots.

Elijah continues to grow and grow. He is starting to smile and stay awake more during the day. He had his first bottle the other day, so now I can leave the house for more than two hours at a time! He doesn't get one often, but at least we know he will take one.

The girls are still so in love with him and haven't showed a single ounce of jealousy towards him. What a blessing!!

We are on the countdown for another niece or nephew. Only a few more weeks until my sister has her baby!! Can't wait to meet the new bundle!

Pictures will be coming soon. I forgot my camera at my in-laws, so I can't get any new ones loaded.
